- minix on amiga:
-
- for some reason i cant seem to mount any filesystems on /dev/dd1,
- even the ones that mount fine on /dev/dd0... i have an a2000 w/
- gobs of ram, and a gvp hard drive (controller?)
- anyway.. the same works fine on my brothers external second
- drive (a500, 1 meg ram, small hd).
- My second drive seems to work fine in amigados, in fact its
- better than my first drive...
- i couldnt even format and then mount a disk on the second drive
- (it seemed to format i think , but i couldnt mkfs on it..)
- ..
- also on either computer a format will stop at track 51 (i think
- 51) will some error... mkfs then proceeds to work, but then
- afterwards after writting alot of data on the drive it seems to
- complain about track 51...
- not sure whats up..
- email response prefered ...
- tim.
